Please pardon me, because I am skeptical by default.  I would personally 
support an entity for use of project developer blogs and/or weblog-style 
news if and only if that site:

1) Is clueful enough to get most facts correct without the developers 
constantly sending corrections or getting angry.
2) Exists solely for the benefit of the community, the project, and 
development and not self-aggrandizement, financial gain, or other motives.
3) Has an enthusiastic backing of community believers in that project.

Given that your site is new, and I do not personally know you, I do not 
yet know which side of the coin your site will be.
